The walleye bite has been very hot for me the last week around the full moon. Been on the water anytime from 2am to 4:30am. Fish were caught just as soon as I get to my favorite haunts just south of the construcion area all the way down to Hudson.
Before sun up I’ve been doing well with BFishin plastics and cranks. After sun up; crawlers on slow retrieve has been the ticket for me. Had some 20-30 walleye days out there. With most in the 16-18 inch class. Only keeping a few for dinner.
Slowed down some now that the full moon has past.
What I’ve noticed is a lot of time when fish are taking the plastics; they’re not actually inhaling the bait in their mouth. They are trying to pin it down on the bottom or stun it. I’ve had to set the hook pretty hard to get this kind of bite.
